BBG News

As I delve into the lives of these captivating individuals, I find myself awestruck by the resilience and adaptability that defines them. Callum Turner, a man whose journey mirrors the twists and turns of a riveting novel, has traversed the labyrinth of love with grace and fortitude. His relationships, like the pages of a book, offer glimpses into his growth, his vulnerabilities, and his unyielding spirit.

They have been dubbed as one of Hollywood’s hottest power couples. 

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are said to have elevated their relationship, as they are now reportedly engaged following a heartfelt proposal over the holiday season.

For more than a year, the musician famous for his hovering act, aged 29, and the actress from Fantastic Beasts, aged 34, who have been in a relationship, secretly became engaged. They plan to mark the occasion with friends and family during New Year’s Eve festivities.

According to a reliable source, Dua and Callum are deeply in love and fully aware that their relationship is permanent. They have become engaged and are overjoyed with the news.

‘Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake.

Callum provides strong, reliable support to Dua, and together they form a truly delightful pair. Everyone around them, including their loved ones, is overjoyed by their happiness. This Christmas has been simply fantastic for them both.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share some insights about the man who has captured Dua Lipa’s heart and reportedly her future – none other than Callum Turner, the enchanting actor from Fantastic Beasts. Here’s a glimpse into their whirlwind romance that has swept the entertainment world.

Who is Dua Lipa’s ‘fiancé’ Callum Turner?

Although he may not be as widely recognized as his London-born partner, Callum has consistently advanced in his acting career, landing roles in the Fantastic Beasts movie franchise and co-starring with Anya Taylor-Joy in the 2020 film Emma.

Additionally, he has secured substantial parts in productions such as “The Boys in the Boat” with George Clooney, the BBC suspense series “The Capture”, and “The Only Living Boy in New York,” where he worked with Kate Beckinsale.

Callum is among the main actors featured in the historical drama “Masters of the Air” set during World War II. This series additionally features Austin, Barry Keoghan, and is produced by none other than Steven Spielberg.

Earlier this month, I had the incredible honor of being appointed Louis Vuitton’s latest brand ambassador. I shared this exciting news along with a stunning photo series that captured the essence of our collaboration.

In one of his early modeling opportunities, he strutted down the catwalk for Louis Vuitton during their 2009 Spring/Summer Men’s Fashion Show.

Callum enthusiastically expressed his joy at collaborating with the high-end fashion brand once more, acknowledging that this was a significant “coming full circle” moment for him.

However, his extravagant life filled with red carpet events, designer clothes, and a well-known partner starkly contrasts with his modest working-class origins. Raised on a London housing estate by his hardworking single mother, Rosemary.

When he was young, his dream was to play football. He went as far as switching schools from one located in Putney to another, which was farther in Sheen, specifically for the sake of its AstroTurf football field, according to The Times report.

As an ardent admirer, allow me to share the journey of Callum, whose relationship with his father during childhood years was somewhat casual. Abandoning the traditional path after leaving sixth-form college before taking A levels, Callum pursued an extraordinary route, joining a semi-professional football team instead.

Yet, the hope of representing his cherished team Chelsea never came to fruition for Callum. In an interview with The Independent in 2020, he stated plainly: ‘I’m not a professional athlete. Essentially, I was extremely committed, but I wasn’t cut out to be a footballer.’

Later on, he landed modeling jobs, including ones for Burberry, thanks to his attractive looks and a family acquaintance from the fashion world, as reported by The Times.

In the course of his modeling profession, he spent time working in Japan, as he needed to shed a significant amount of weight, and often ate six servings of tuna for lunch. Interestingly, his waist measures 34 inches naturally, however, fashion designers required it to be only 28 inches.

From the ages of 18 to 26, I found myself deeply immersed in cannabis use, as I once shared with The Independent: “I consumed an extensive amount of marijuana during that period.

He spent his days acting in movies, smoking marijuana regularly, and it consumed him entirely, off the movie sets. He never smoked on set, but once home, he behaved like a true addict. Reflecting on this period, he admitted, “I squandered roughly four years of my life.

He explained that what ultimately led him to quit his addiction was a strong resolve to transform his life and avoid missing out on it.

When aged 21, he turned to acting, but he insisted in 2019 that ‘there was never some grand plan’.

However, this doesn’t imply he was lazy; rather, speaking to The Independent, he expressed that for those from a working-class background with little to no financial resources, it often necessitates holding down an additional job.

He mentioned that he had three jobs: two were in separate stores, while the third was at a local bar, all so he could afford to cover his rental expenses.

The actor spends four days each week on work-related tasks, leaving the remaining three for personal growth in acting. This can involve watching movies, attending classes, or visiting plays.

However, it’s clear that his dedicated efforts have borne fruit, as Callum can now be seen gracing numerous well-known television series and movies.

He has acted alongside Eddie Redmayne in the Fantastic Beasts series, James Norton in TV’s War & Peace, and Helen McCrory in ITV’s Leaving (2012), a show that explores an age-gap romance. One of his initial roles was portraying opposite Helen McCrory in a drama titled Leaving.

How long have Dua Lipa and Callum Turner been together?

Back in January, there were whispers of a romantic connection between Dua and Callum, as they were seen together at the Masters Of The Air afterparty in London.

During that period, a source shared with Page Six: ‘Things are fresh, yet they’re quite smitten… She attended the event to show her support for him.’

On their romantic outing, the duo was noticed gracefully swaying to music, sharing a dance, and subsequently attending numerous social gatherings following award ceremonies.

Dua and Callum have garnered attention since making their relationship official earlier this year, and they are steadily rising as the most popular “trendy couple” in Los Angeles.

In the summertime, they made their relationship Instagram-official, with Callum frequently seen cheering on his musical partner during her performance at Glastonbury.

From the outset, they’ve had trouble keeping their affection private; they’ve been seen sharing intimate moments publicly and posting plenty of affectionate displays on social media.

Before announcing her relationship, the artist behind “Dance the Night” shared during her Radical Optimism album promotions that she needed to regain her self-assurance following some past relationships that didn’t work out.

During her chat with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she shared that personally, reaching this particular point was essential for her to discover truly what she had been needing in terms of relationships.

To advance towards the future, it’s essential to practice forgiveness, personal growth, and self-acceptance regarding the past. This means embracing change, learning from experiences, and letting go of any lingering negativity.

For me, “Happy for You” is a lovely, upbeat song that mirrors my personal journey, making it particularly meaningful.

In every relationship and experience, you gain insights into your own self, discover aspects that cause pain, understand your expectations, and realize what you might need to offer in return.

‘I think, again, it goes back to that exchange of vulnerability.

In the past, I’ve experienced some painful relationships, particularly in the beginning stages, where I often felt undervalued or unworthy. These experiences eroded my self-confidence, but I eventually regained it over time.

Understanding what you firmly stand for is crucial. To me, it’s not just about finding the ideal partner, but more importantly, it’s about establishing the perfect connection.

‘You find that in friendships and in love relationships as well, of your non-negotiables.’

Who else has Callum Turner dated? 

Apart from Dua, Callum has also been romantically involved with Vanessa Kirby, who is known for her role in “The Crown.” They were together until they decided to part ways in 2019.

In the year 2014, our paths crossed while we were both part of the production of “Queen and Country.” We grew closer the subsequent year, but it wasn’t until 2017 that we decided to make our relationship public. However, speculations about me (Vanessa) and Tom Cruise arose before this revelation.

In the movie Mission: Impossible – Fallout, she worked alongside a renowned Hollywood action actor, requiring them to exchange a heartfelt kiss on set.

People who saw it found it remarkably believable and started questioning if the duo might have been engaged in some activities beyond what was shown on screen.

However, to put an end to the speculations, Vanessa clarified that she was in a relationship with Callum. This revelation came when he started receiving messages from friends inquiring about his wellbeing. At that point in time, she referred to him as ‘absolutely marvelous’ and her ‘dearest friend’.

Back in February 2020, representatives allegedly informed The Sun that the pair had separated. A source shared with the newspaper: “Vanessa and Callum are two promising actors who’ve been inundated with job opportunities in recent years.

They are experiencing an exhilarating phase in their lives, yet as their professional journeys escalated, their bond started to weaken, and over time, they grew increasingly distant. It’s truly disheartening, given how close they used to be.

A year ago, they chose a challenging path by deciding to part ways independently. They both believe this move is advantageous. Everything remains friendly between them; unfortunately, their arrangement wasn’t successful.
